The Swindon Arts Centre in Swindon, Wiltshire, will host a live science show for families on Thursday 28 May 2026. The production, Top Secret – The Magic Of Science, combines stage magic with chemistry and physics experiments to provide an educational outing for children during the May half-term holiday.
The show features interactive experiments and large-scale demonstrations that often involve messy elements such as foam and bubbles. Performers use a laboratory-style set to conduct feats of science that are first presented like magic tricks and then explained through the scientific principles that make them work. The performance is designed to hold the attention of younger audiences through fast-moving, colourful displays.
The event takes place during Wiltshire’s May half-term holiday (the performance date is 28 May 2026). Tickets for the show at the Old Town venue are priced from £14 (range £14–£17), according to the Swindon Arts Centre box office.
The venue is managed by Trafalgar Theatres (which also operates the Wyvern Theatre in Swindon). The Swindon Arts Centre is an intimate, 212-seat auditorium that offers a close setting where children can get a good view of the experiments on stage.
